Holiday pay calculator Philippines
Philippine law pays more for work on holidays and rest days. The rate depends on the type of day and on whether it is also your rest day.
Pick the day and enter your daily wage to see your pay for the first 8 hours.
How it's calculated
- Regular holiday worked: 200% of your daily wage. If it is also your rest day: 260%.
- Special day worked: 130%. If it is also your rest day: 150%.
- Rest day worked: 130%.
- Regular holiday not worked: your regular daily wage.
